I'm sending it to Smith first, because it's much more free. If it doesn't work, then to Clark. If it still doesn't work, it may very well get sold.

If you'd have just bought a Glock 20 in the first place, you'd have yourself a usable pistol right now. :roll:

You, Sir, are NOT a nice person! But that was really funny!!

(I'd have advised a .45 Colt, but I wasn't consulted.)

But I would feel so...dirty.

*For the record, I own 3 Glocks, and actually carried one today. They are reliable, accurate, and soulless.

Oh hell. I realized that I could get a Glock 21, buy a 10mm barrel/recoil spring/mag, and there's a .460 Rowland conversion kit for it.

I wouldn't feed a steady diet of full power 10mm to a G21 with a conversion barrel...

Everything that I've read said that the support was not necessary, only the mass, and it could be offset by a different recoil spring. Still, by the time you're doing all that, you may as well grab another slide. Or even just another pistol, since it's just a Glock.
